The IDF said aid corridors are being set up to "refute the false claim of intentional starvation" after aid agencies raised the alarm about malnutrition in Gaza.
Jordan is also sending in 60 trucks carrying essential food supplies, the country's state-run news agency reports, with Egypt delivering more aid by land.
Aid organisations have repeatedly warned that air drops are not sufficient to address the crisis in Gaza, with one calling it a "grotesque distraction".
At least 133 people have died from malnutrition since the war began, the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said.
How are Israelis able to allow this to happen? With the atrocities perpetrated against Jews during the Second World War in the Third Reich, Israelis should know better than anyone else what it is like to be starved to death. – © Mark Alexander
